Week 1 of PvP - The Prisoner, Attack Lists, and Pay to Win

[ToTameAGame]

Second week so far:

1644 points
Attack 86% 24/26
Defense 38% 39/103

Swapped the VE out for a Mummy, and tweezed the talisman set up just a little.

Thanks for that! You just have proven my point

I guess I'm just not as upset with the prisoner. I'm happy with mid 90 win rate and I'll take whatever defense rate I can muster.

To me It's fine if you get he gimp and leverage the right mix of toons to get a 30% defense rate.

I don't have the gimp and last week held 30%., although I doubt that will last as players learn.

Good discussion. Up the irons!

Non-prisoner here. Attack 111/125. Defence 68/230. As I wasn't in beta I had a bit of learning to do in attack.

What point was that?

Many people around care for their own small world, and not about PVP as a whole for everyone. Few exceptions.

What point was that?

I suspect that you managed to get close to 40% ratio on defence being new to pvp, and having a prisoner

It's Monday, my hold average around 27% presently & in beta it was 40-45% so either I've been real unlucky, ppl adapt... Or it's only Monday maybe soon to jump on conclusions I'll post mine after this week, last week's stats don't mean much with all the trial & errors of newcomers it was quite high but going downhill so hard to give a good figure..

My defense was between 40-50% in beta too. Started out that way in PvP last week and slowly descended to it's 36% final stat. People adapt and figure things out.

Updated stats

First impression - the Prisoner isn't the difference maker he's been accused of - but this is a really small sample size. Let the discussion continue...

This is what I've been waiting for, for you to make a point the prisoner is not advantage haha.
And you are wright. Allone it is not.
Smart combos with it are lethal. They are, no matter how you put it. I don't mind, I'd use it too. Reproducing def rates to prove it means.. not much. That owners are worried about possible nerf. Means prisoners attack prisoners. Those without avoid prisoner/siege defs. So did I, but now I just dont't care.
Should I call myself NonCaretaker haha. I go on every combo, wt+pris/siege included, with higher points then myself and close my eyes to get the first turn, if so or not, then I hold fingers crossed so that effects on my team fire up even on taunt Green bat's Shriek is good if it taunts the prisoner so he can't stun half of the team with. But he overrides immunity, so you don't have much time. Blind is great against AI in general, which has been upgraded on perfect hits so not necessarily it works.
I don't know what your real work is, but it should be diplomacy and politics, with no disrespect, on the contrary, but you are so good in that. Maybe I should start putting 'with that being said' phrase in my posts, people just buy it

The fact that Ringe666 was attacked 200 times more than GMAC is insane. Neither have a Prisoner. Either Ringe's team looked like a sitting duck or there is a great unfairness going on - cause that would really hurt his ranking

That is because of the attack lists+matchmaking. Plus some diference in toughness of defs. Go high on points and you are not on the lists if not someones match, by some criteria.

I had something to say about it here

Hi Guys,

Just an update, It´s mid Monday and I´ve been attacked 99 times so far this week. So, something has changed. Lot´s of new names on my list too.

I´m kind of upset that was attacked way less than most people, not fair.

It would be good if the Devs have a say on this matter.
